The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen

Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Father’s Kindness and Daughter’s Cry Chapter 28: Chapter 28 Father’s Kindness and Daughter’s Cry Ten minutes ago, at the edge of the Blood Pool

“Big sister, can you help me?”

The corpse of the young girl suddenly opened her eyes in front of Bai Yi. After exchanging a silent gaze with Bai Yi for a moment, Bai Yi heard a voice echoing in the Swarm Network.

“…”

Seemingly worried that Bai Yi hadn’t heard clearly, the other party repeated the sentence.

But was this really about whether I heard it clearly or not!

This was in an empty cave, for crying out loud!

Aside from the girl’s corpse soaking in the Blood Pool in front of her, the only other presence was the beetle controlled by Bai Yi’s consciousness!

And this was the Swarm’s consciousness network!

Yet now another person’s voice actually appeared.

Bai Yi’s true self let out a sharp burst.

If this wasn’t her true body, Bai Yi might, no, she would definitely have run away!

“Who are you?”

Forcing herself to calm down, Bai Yi tried to ask a question in the consciousness network, and her mind immediately began to ponder the current situation.

In this cave, aside from herself, the only one that appeared to be alive was the “girl” in front of her who just opened her eyes.

Although she wasn’t clear on how they managed to communicate with her in the Swarm’s consciousness, the only suspicious entity was this “corpse” in front of her.

The voice’s response also confirmed Bai Yi’s suspicion.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to drag you, big sister, into this. Allow me to introduce myself: I’m Lina, which is to say, the corpse in front of you.”

Before Bai Yi could figure out what was special about this name, that voice continued:

“I’m currently relying on the power of ‘Longevity’ to speak with you, big sister.

By the way, big sister, do you know ‘Longevity’?

It seems you do.

I’m truly sorry for needing to speak with you, big sister, in this manner, but I have a favor to ask of you, would that be alright?”

Bai Yi’s thoughts came to a halt, thinking:

*”You even brought up ‘Longevity,’ with an attitude that if I didn’t know what ‘Longevity’ represented, you would stop to educate me on the spot.

Do I really have an option to refuse?

To refuse and then feel the majesty of a god before agreeing?”*

But, of course, Bai Yi didn’t dare say this out loud; she even temporarily exited the Swarm’s consciousness to think thoroughly about it.

After all, it was evident that even Lina detected Bai Yi’s reaction upon hearing the name ‘Longevity’.

Bai Yi reasonably suspected that this Lina could read her thoughts in the Swarm Network through the power of ‘Longevity’.

Reconnecting to the Swarm Network, Bai Yi didn’t agree immediately but asked:

“So, Miss Lina, may I ask what you need me to do?”

“I want you, big sister, to cooperate with me and help me complete this ritual so that I can detach from the Blood Pool.

And in return, I’ll help you purify my father.”

“But why can’t you request ‘Longevity’ for this kind of task? Also, father?”

Bai Yi felt that she had heard something incredible and exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right, Karis, who claims to be an Undead Mage, is my father, and everything he’s done, even researching this Undead Magic, was to resurrect me.”

“Resurrection? Can Undead Magic even achieve that?”

“According to my father’s research, it can, but the conditions are incredibly harsh.

However, along the way, he’s caused too much slaughter, long since straying from the path of ‘Longevity’. My mission this time is to purify him.”

Bai Yi’s mouth twitched.

*What kind of father-daughter drama is this?*

But as things had come to this, Bai Yi also followed her heart’s desires and returned to the network, sincerely saying:

“I agree. Please, what exactly do I need to do?”

“I need you, big sister, to allow me to borrow your power, and then let this beetle, which bears your consciousness, touch the Blood Pool.

Doing so will allow me to use your power to fully manifest.

My father’s power is not limited to this. If you, big sister, fail, I’ll step in and complete the purification.”

“You have triggered a hidden quest—purification, for the obsession of resurrection, Karis has nearly gone mad. Cooperate with Lina to completely purify Karis.”

…

“Daddy, please stop.”

Under the fist of the Skeleton Giant, a small figure supported the disproportionate fist, shielding Bai Yi behind her.

“Do you really still remember the vow you once made…”

The tender voice rang out again, but the Skeleton Giant seemed to have become a real dead object, faint sobbing sounds emanating.

“Lina…

My Lina…

Is it you, Lina…

Is it you who came back…

Are you here to purify me…”

Karis’s voice trembled like dry bones, scraping, full of incredulity.

Feeling that familiar power from Lina, Karis understood everything.

From the moment he researched the first Undead Spell, he had diverged from the path of ‘Longevity’.

As someone once favored by ‘Longevity’, the Suffering Doctor, he was well aware of the kind of pursuit people like him would face.

Countless Eternal Life Knights sought to purify him to please ‘Longevity’ and gain Her favor.

Before arriving in this world, he was almost constantly on the run.

Who would have thought, the one coming to purify him would actually be the daughter he always wished to resurrect…

Karis suddenly remembered Bai Yi and the power to control plants and insects.

She must be a Favored of Hers too…

Connecting all the information, Karis understood.

“Ha, what is this, taking Lina’s soul from me, only to watch me fall and let me sink to this extent.

‘Longevity’…

Ha, ‘Longevity’!

(Magga Empire swear) ‘Longevity’!”

Karis cursed at the sky, the Soul Flames within his skull suddenly surged, igniting the giant’s head formed from numerous bones.

“If you want to purify me, then try it!”

At this moment, he let go of his control and suppression of the Soul Flames, and the Soul Fire, which fused countless Residual Spirits, instantly drowned his consciousness.

In the eerie blue of the flames, twisted faces seemed to wail, yet bizarrely formed a complete human face.

He was no longer Karis.

[A resentful aggregate formed from numerous dead souls and corpses]

Seeing Karis mutate the moment he appeared, Lina leaped forward, her body covered in a faint green glow, reaching for the Skeleton Giant’s chest.

But the Skeleton Giant reacted faster, its instinct for self-preservation making it instantly punch, its fist enveloped in Soul Flames crashing towards Lina, looking as though Lina was deliberately throwing herself at it.

Even though Lina had damage reduction, she couldn’t avoid the fate of being hit away.

But since she didn’t suffer much damage, Lina twisted her body mid-air, leveraging against the impact before hitting a Banyan Tree, flipping to land on the ground.

Initially, Bai Yi, after Lina blocked that punch, had already bolted.

Just having found a bush to hide in, Karis underwent mutation.

Feeling a sudden gust over her head, Bai Yi saw Lina land in front of her.

Lina also noticed Bai Yi hiding and turned back just in time to lock eyes with her.

“Hi?”

Bai Yi waved a bit awkwardly, but Lina didn’t seem to catch her intention, using an extremely fast pace to speak while Resentful Polimon was still confused by the numerous souls:

“Bai Yi, I need your help!

Karis deliberately abandoned his soul to form an undead monster with those gathered residual spirits!

Its weakness is that original Bone Staff of Karis’s on its chest!

But for some unknown reason, the Divine Arts I knew have become much less effective against this monster!

I need your support to grab the Bone Staff, do you have any ideas?”

Alright then, just a moment ago she was addressing her as ‘big sister’, and now she was calling her by name.

However, Bai Yi didn’t dare voice her internal complaints, as right now, facing the monster head-on, only Lina had the capability.

If she were alone, she wouldn’t even have the confidence to run away before being caught within Karis’s territory.

Bai Yi didn’t dare delay, linking her thoughts to the Swarm and using that slight amplification to start thinking.
